"I think people should be free to make any and all economic decisions they wish, and outside forces have no right to impose their will on others" ➡ "I think people should be forced to provide for others against their will, and fundamentally people can not be trusted with basic sovereignty."

lol yeah right

yeah, idk

wasn't the goal to just be able to live a good life, free form oppression?

how did it turn into all this?

People redefined "oppression"

people have it too good

OH

which reminds me

i'm not a fascist or anything...

but

You're off to a great start

kaden's pretty fashy tbh

i've been toying with the idea of a culturally mandated vision quest or something

so that eventually, if society keeps improving, there would be some sort of imperative to keep the youth in check, and to teach them the value of what they have.
without that mechanism in place, they will end up,through ignorance, destroying the system.
so what i was talking about earlier was a need for some sort of program to combat that
